“..Marine A experienced a horrific tour of duty during which the Taliban would use the limbs of dead British Marines to decorate trees in order to terrorise and provoke soldiers. Marine A took the bait, committed a crime and now must face the consequences. That is only right.
But if the PC brigade, to whom the very existence of the British Army seems to be an affront, has its way, he will be made an example of and given a far more harsh punishment than he deserves – and that would be very wrong. It is essential that the mitigating circumstances in which the crime was committed are taken into account, for few can appreciate the provocation he will have endured…”

The senior brass, predictably, are making wailing noises and wringing their hands in horror, calling for a draconian sentence. But those bureaucrat bastards are behaving that way for purely political reasons and the welfare of the soldiers under their command is of zero importance to the fat, pampered, pompous c**ts.
Tim Collins was a fighting Colonel, and he ‘gets it’.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

Very few if any fighting soldiers get promoted above Lt. Col. these days unless they start ticking the ‘PC’ boxes at a very early stage in their career.
197 and counting-

@Seneca:
This more often than not has been what has happened in history – especially in Roman history – fighting and successful generals sometimes become the emperor.
In fact, only if needed for the survival of the state are fighting generals allowed to rise, as was the case in WW II.
Golden rules:
No officers, no photos, no diaries, no social media, no letters, no emails, no media, no souvenirs, no debriefs, no padre chats, no counselling, no few-beers bragging.
Got it?
Ask Breaker Morant….he’ll confirm.
Matthew 10:36.
Precisely, Flashman.
If it were a mass-raping pedophile who had a harsh upbringing, these pc-scum would be falling over their loathsome selves to cut him a break. Put that to one side, one must ask, why is the pc-brigade so boldly and loudly calling for this, i think it’s just a symptom of a far greater problem in Britain.
That these armchair bastards are brave enough to call for such things publicly is the more worrying aspect and i don’t think it’s just them who feel this way. Unfortunately in Britain i think that’s the way it is, some people say they’ve gone off the deep end or simply lost it. It sounds kinda funny at times, but it isn’t really.
I don’t quite understand why, perhaps its God’s punishment to forsake them, i don’t know, what i do know is that they are lost, they don’t seem to know right from wrong anymore. It’s like they’ve confused themselves on the most basic level.
Like when those muslims butchered that soldier on a busy road, the citizens of the country just stood there filming it, only one white woman dared to say something.
For most of us if we came across a man raping a small child in an alley and saw a gun lying nearby, you’d simply pick it up and stop the bastard, we’d probably use it on him before the cops came along too. But these days to an average Brit you’d have to ask him/her – are you sure you’d really do that.
“..what i do know is that they are lost, they don’t seem to know right from wrong anymore. It’s like they’ve confused themselves on the most basic level.”
Absolutely. PC culture and moral relativity have done their work well.
However, the current Leftist Politically Correct Western Civilization Model is not sustainable, because sooner or later you run out of other people’s money and Tower of babel comes crashing down.
The Great Reset is coming soon to a First World country near you, so enjoy first class on the Titanic while you may…
Long as I remember the rain been comin’ down
Clouds of mystery pourin’ confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages tryin’ to find the sun.
And I wonder still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.
I went down Virginia seekin’ shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
Five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.
Heard the singers playin’, how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together tryin’ to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin’, fallin’ on my ears
And I wonder, still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.
Like my father said about the pissing on dead Taliban story,”anybody who cares what the ladies tea social thinks in the middle of a war isn’t interested in winning it.”
Damn right!
never been good with ‘ladies tea socials’ – guess I never ‘fit’–glad I didn’t…
your Dad was right–and don’t forget the ‘progressive ‘ commies!1

Its a certainty the Kenyan thug is cleansing the military of those who might not be on his side.
@Redbaiter:
I see Obama has read his Stalin Rule Number One:
1. Purge the military BEFORE the Great Purge.
There has to be an attempted gun grab coming somewhere down the line.
After the Boston outrages – and the sheep-like obedience in the face of them – I doubt very much that such a grab will be met with armed resistance.
